Just Added: Training at SF jQuery Conference!

In response to the flood of requests and emails, and our original promise to work on this, we’ve got an announcement: we’ve added a single day Beginner/Intermediate training right before the San Francisco jQuery Conference :)

Tickets are on sale now (left side, below the fold). The training will be provided by our friends at Bocoup, and hosted by the ever-generous folks at Microsoft. Here’s a snippet of what Trainers Ben Alman and Rebecca Murphey will be covering:

At Bocoup’s intermediate one-day jQuery training, you’ll work with jQuery veterans to build a foundation that will make you a stronger developer and get you prepared for all the great talks that you’ll see over the next two days. You’ll even learn the basics of creating your own jQuery plugin. Topics that will be covered include:

The jQuery() function

Selecting & Traversing

Manipulating the DOM

Making stuff happen with Events

AJAX

Enhancing with Effects

Extending jQuery with Plugins

jQuery UI

jQuery Mobile

To note: the training and conference are both in San Francisco, but take place in different locations. The training is in the heart of San Fran on Market Street, and the conference is about five to ten minutes from there, on the UCSF Mission Bay campus. Please also note that the conference and training require separate admission tickets, so make sure you’ve purchased both if you’d like to attend both.

We’re still working on the possibility of adding an Advanced training, but thus far have had mostly requests for beginner materials. So here that is :)

Hope you’ve all bought your tickets to the conference; can’t wait to see you there!

Hey, how are you going to talk about jQuery PLUGINS when your plugin site is still down. I mean come on its been over 6 MONTHS now and there has been no news or updates regarding the matter, and on top of that the archive site does not even work anymore. Seriously guys you need to get your act together your acting like a bunch of amateurs.

Alas, this post wasn’t about plugins, so it’s probably not the most effective place for feedback. I’d recommend reaching out to someone on the plugin team via email if you’ve got specific useful feedback. If you’re just angry and wanting to express it… consider yourself expressed :)
